Psalms72:15
To him shall be given of the gold of Sheba - The Arabians shall pay him tribute.
Prayer also shall be made for him continually - In all conquered countries two things marked the subjection of the people:
1. Their money was stamped with the name of the conqueror.
2. They were obliged to pray for him in their acts of public worship.
Daily shall he be praised - He shall not act by the conquered like conquerors in general: he shall treat them with benignity; and shall give them the same laws and privileges as his natural subjects, and therefore "he shall be daily praised." All shall speak well of him.
